A highly trained commando is accused of crimes he didn’t commit and searches for the truth. But truth is a macabre conspiracy to manipulate and control the entire human kind.

SYNOPSIS:

Hugh Montagnes is in a sea of trouble. The fact he now suffers from strong, hammering, strange migraines is the least of his problems, considering there’s a bunch of people eager to beat him to death. This surely has something to do with two dishonorable discharges from the Special Forces and the police for crimes he didn’t commit, a prize he pays for meddling with corrupt, powerful forces. Hired goons corner and spank Hugh in an alley with the intention to kill him. They hurt him pretty bad, but fail to finish the job.

Alicia Silver is a nineteen years old college student who excitedly answers a video call from her best friend in the world, Sushi, on the laptop in her dorm, about some bombastic new discovery he claims he made. But Sushi looks awfully nervous and practically hangs up on her. No more than a second later, police forces invade the sorority building, truculently searching for Alicia. She barely manages to escape, only due to an uncomfortable knowledge of the city underground sewers she and her friends share.

Hugh sneaked into the precinct he used to work in, to get more information on the crooks who want him dead, but he’s discovered, almost got shot, but manages to escape.

Alicia goes to Sushi’s house to see if he’s okay, only to find out unreliable agents had already taken the place and want to arrest her. She escapes, but the crooks arrange so she is accused of murdering Sushi’s mother, whose corpse is in a bathtub. Alicia is once again forced to hide in the city sewers.

Hugh comes back home and finds the same hired goons that tried to kill him in the alley already there, waiting for him. Hugh is taken to the basement at gun point, where the trespassers plan to beat him up again, this time finishing the job, and make the whole thing look like a robbery. Hugh is unable to fight back because strong migraines hammer his skull. However, the mysterious silhouette of a woman works a cell-phone. A second later, Hugh is free from the migraines and easily subdued his enemies, finally showing his special training. Acting in self-defense, Hugh killed all his assailants, except for one. Hugh tried to extract the truth from the man, but he simply dies in front of him, with blood coming out of his ears, as if his head had been squeezed from inside. Hugh tries to catch up with the mysterious lady, but she disappears into the night.

An armed militia invades the luxurious hotel room where the prime minister of China is staying with his family. They are all taken hostage, but the militiamen only scan the prime-minister’s brain with a cell-phone and go away.

Meanwhile, powerful and influential Senator Jeneuve, Supreme Court Judge Alexander Balsam, and Congresswoman Debra Stein discuss and analyze a nefarious secret agenda.

Hugh invades the home of his friend and former boss Lieutenant Gomez of police, seeking help. Gomez wants to help, but he’s afraid of the powers chasing Hugh. In the end, Gomez provides Hugh with the name of a building, the only lead he agrees to volunteer.

Hugh goes into this building. He finds a secret room containing boxes with strange equipment inside. He writes down the serial number of one of them. Problem is he is also found by his enemies. Lots of shots are exchanged and Hugh gets hit in the thigh. He finds a way to set almost the entire building on fire and escapes into an alley, only to once again be cornered by the ones who want to beat the living daylights out of him. The migraines return and Hugh can’t fight back. He is also found and saved by Alicia Silver. She manages to grab a gun Hugh was carrying and threatens to blow the head of his aggressors off. They walk away.

It becomes clear that Hugh and Alicia were screwed by the same evil forces, so they team up. Alicia traces the serial number Hugh obtained in the secret room to a multinational conglomerate Hugh and his team investigated when he was still in the Special Forces. Such huge corporation is responsible for all Hugh’s ordeals, pinning on him crimes he didn’t commit, causing his dishonorable discharges. Now, they also made authorities believe Alicia killed Sushi’s mother, making she and Hugh fugitives of the law.

Later, Hugh and Alicia end up in the hands of the same militia that invaded the China prime minister’s room. They learned such militia is actually a small resistance led by Congresswoman Debra Stein. She’s actually using her political position to work undercover between Senator Jeneuve and Judge Balsam, to stop a world domination scheme conducted by the multinational conglomerate and a few powerful people in high places, to manipulate the brains of entire populations through radio waves and cell-phones. Hugh and his team got too close to this truth and the powerful ones tried to silence him, like they did to the rest of his group.

Alicia finds out that her friend Sushi is alive and working for the resistance.

Debra reveals that the only way to stop the frightening conspiracy and clear Hugh’s and Alicia’s names is by getting compromising information about the powerful ones involved in the evil scheme, located in a computer inside a satellite, currently in space, orbiting Earth. As such information cannot be taken remotely from Earth, Hugh and Alicia will actually have to go all the way to the satellite in orbit and retrieve the data from the computer in there, as the only way to save humanity from becoming slaves of a few.

Can they do it?
